Born and raised in the Canadian Prairies my appreciation for nature and exploring has been a major part of my life from a young age. I was drawn to the South Pacific, New Zealand in particular, and after getting the chance to go there I instantly knew why. From pristine beaches and lush native forests to rugged mountains and clear blue lakes, New Zealand's outdoors really cannot be beaten. It is a nature lovers paradise!

"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." - Anthony Bourdain
